I cherry picked a few 09's today for fun... a guy had 200 babies with him, I managed to get one with a brilliant orange red stomach and a few others with red stomachs (just not as red as that one) as well. I can't find anything about red stomached-babies, I just googled and searched my butt off. and this is not the the pinkness/redness that they get before shedding, it's blazing orange/red pigment and comes up the sides of the snake a bit. Do some hatchling BP's come out with bright red stomachs? I also chose them for their patterns and what not but the orange stomach thing had me wowed. I am going to assume for now that it is something that some babies are born with, and then it fades in a shed or two? I have not heard of it before, and my main thing is semi-aquatic species! I have cherry picked through baby balls before and this is the first time I've come across it. Can someone fill me in? I will post a picture within the hour. Whether it's going to fade or not... it's still wicked cool!!!

I was not even aware that ball pythons had red pigmentation!!! You never see any red bp's!
